Cantaloupe
Cucumis melo
Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) is a warm-season trailing annual that rewards full sun, fertile well-drained soil and consistent moisture; sow after soils warm or transplant seedlings after the last frost in the Willamette Valley, spacing plants 2–3' apart and training on the ground or a sturdy trellis for sweetest fruit. Expect 70–90 days to maturity depending on variety; harvest when the rind is netted and the fruit gives slightly with a strong sweet aroma, reduce late-season water to concentrate sugars, and protect vines from cool wet springs with black plastic or floating row cover.
